Huzzah. I've been saying this for years, except that i always refered specificly to the Hitachi's as i have many driving years of experience with mine. The only genuine SU's i ever actually used were on my '52 Morris Minor [i didn't know any better, OK]
Nobody really wants to know about this, as a pair of these SU / Hitachi's don't look as sexy, or sound as horny, or make as much top end power as Webbers, but on a car that you actually drive,... a lot, they are a very good choice.
Low maintainance, modest initial cost, & good all round performance are attributes that are hard to beat in a driver. Thats why the factory used them.
If you are going to use the Genuine British SU's on an A12 or A14, then I guess that a pair from a Mini or Sprite / Midget might be a good start.

You got the linkage problem absolutely right. This is probably one of the reasons that the stock GX setup is so good. The factory linkage is well designed & the carbs stay in phase. I think we have all seen some linkages that could have stood a little improvement,... well, OK, a lot of improvement.
